Swipeable UITableViewCell/UICollectionViewCell based on the stock Mail.app, implemented in Swift.
A swipeable UITableViewCell
or UICollectionViewCell
with support for:
UITableView
and UICollectionView
Check out my blog post on how SwipeCellKit came to be.
The transition style describes how the action buttons are exposed during the swipe.
The expansion style describes the behavior when the cell is swiped past a defined threshold.

Set the delegate
property on SwipeTableViewCell
:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: “Cell”) as! SwipeTableViewCell
cell.delegate = self
return cell
}
Adopt the SwipeTableViewCellDelegate
protocol:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath, for orientation: SwipeActionsOrientation) -> [SwipeAction]? {
guard orientation == .right else { return nil }
let deleteAction = SwipeAction(style: .destructive, title: “Delete”) { action, indexPath in
// handle action by updating model with deletion
}
// customize the action appearance
deleteAction.image = UIImage(named: “delete”)
return [deleteAction]
}
Optionally, you can implement the editActionsOptionsForRowAt
method to customize the behavior of the swipe actions:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsOptionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath, for orientation: SwipeActionsOrientation) -> SwipeOptions {
var options = SwipeOptions()
options.expansionStyle = .destructive
options.transitionStyle = .border
return options
}
Set the delegate
property on SwipeCollectionViewCell
:
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: “Cell”, for: indexPath) as! SwipeCollectionViewCell
cell.delegate = self
return cell
}
Adopt the SwipeCollectionViewCellDelegate
protocol:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, editActionsForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath, for orientation: SwipeActionsOrientation) -> [SwipeAction]? {
guard orientation == .right else { return nil }
let deleteAction = SwipeAction(style: .destructive, title: “Delete”) { action, indexPath in
// handle action by updating model with deletion
}
// customize the action appearance
deleteAction.image = UIImage(named: “delete”)
return [deleteAction]
}
Optionally, you can implement the editActionsOptionsForItemAt
method to customize the behavior of the swipe actions:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, editActionsOptionsForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath, for orientation: SwipeActionsOrientation) -> SwipeOptions {
var options = SwipeOptions()
options.expansionStyle = .destructive
options.transitionStyle = .border
return options
}
Three built-in transition styles are provided by SwipeTransitionStyle
:
See Customizing Transitions for more details on customizing button appearance as the swipe is performed.
Transition for a SwipeAction
can be observered by setting a SwipeActionTransitioning
on the transitionDelegate
property. This allows you to observe what percentage is visible and access to the underlying UIButton
for that SwipeAction
.
Four built-in expansion styles are provided by SwipeExpansionStyle
:
Much effort has gone into making SwipeExpansionStyle
extremely customizable. If these built-in styles do not meet your needs, see Customizing Expansion for more details on creating custom styles.
The built-in .fill
expansion style requires manual action fulfillment. This means your action handler must call SwipeAction.fulfill(style:)
at some point during or after invocation to resolve the fill expansion. The supplied ExpansionFulfillmentStyle
allows you to delete or reset the cell at some later point (possibly after further user interaction).
The built-in .destructive
, and .destructiveAfterFill
expansion styles are configured to automatically perform row deletion when the action handler is invoked (automatic fulfillment). Your deletion behavior may require coordination with other row animations (eg. inside beginUpdates
and endUpdates
). In this case, you can easily create a custom SwipeExpansionStyle
which requires manual fulfillment to trigger deletion:
var options = SwipeTableOptions()
options.expansionStyle = .destructive(automaticallyDelete: false)
NOTE: You must call SwipeAction.fulfill(with style:)
at some point while/after your action handler is invoked to trigger deletion. Do not call deleteRows
directly.
let delete = SwipeAction(style: .destructive, title: nil) { action, indexPath in
// Update model
self.emails.remove(at: indexPath.row)
action.fulfill(with: .delete)
}
